I have PLEX resident on my Windows 10 PC at home. I have several media files of all sorts, AVI, Matroska, MP4, etc. and so I just looked at 3 different devices streaming from my PLEX PC at home and all of them were transcoding both audio and video.
Is there one format/container that requires less transcoding than others?
In other words what file types can be played natively on more devices than any other? Clearly I want to keep transcoding to a minimum.
My Windows 10 PC is an older HP desktop with a 6 core AMD processor with an Operating speed: 2.9 GHz, Bus speed: 4000 MHz HT3. And it is connected to the internet via fiber optic at 50/50. It suits my needs but am afraid of maxing out the capabilities resulting in playback issues.
Im new to streaming PLEX and just trying to learn my limitations
